Even in these tough economic
times, Lake County will be
putting young people to work
this summer. The Lake County
Workforce Development Department
has received funding from the
Lake County Board and from the
American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act to continue the
Summer Youth Employment Program
in 2010.
Interested youth must call the
summer youth employment hotline
beginning February 1st to add
their name to the waiting list.
The hotline phone number is
847.377.3443.
There are limited positions
available in each community and
positions will be granted on a
first come, first serve basis.
Walk-in or mailed information
will also be accepted for
waiting list placement at
Workforce Development, 1 N.
Genesee St., Waukegan.
The 2010 Summer Youth Employment
Program is open to Lake County
youth ages 14-15 who meet the
program's low-income criteria or
youth ages 14-21 who have an
I.E.P. through school.
Individuals who call the hotline
on or after February 1st should
leave the following information
in order to be considered:
- Name
- Telephone Number
- What city you live in
- Age
Youth chosen for the program
will be contacted beginning late
March through May to begin
processing paperwork. Please
leave only one message on the
hotline system. Youth are
strongly encouraged to explore
all summer employment options
available to them.
The Lake County Workforce
Development is in the process of
securing worksites for our youth
who will participate in the 2010
Summer Employment Program. If
your agency or organization
would be willing to provide
meaningful part or full-time
work experiences for our youth
this summer, please contact
Jennifer Everett at 847.377.3447
for more information.
